"Missing" is the third episode of the second season of the American medical drama ''Body of Proof''. It was originally broadcast in the United States on ABC on October 4, 2011. The episode was directed by Eric Laneuville and written by Matthew V. Lewis. Following Megan Hunt (Dana Delany), a former neurosurgeon turned medical examiner at Philadelphia, in this episode, Helen Martin (Nicole Callender) is run over by a speeding truck whilst trying to stop the kidnapping of Noah Parker (Anthony Pierini). With the help of FBI agent Derek Ames (Cliff Curtis), Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) tries to find the culprits of the kidnapping before the child dies. Meanwhile, Megan has to relive the death of her father, when her mother Joan (Joanna Cassidy) visits. The episode received positive reviews, and was watched by 9.95 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, on the Tuesday night it aired in the United States. Critics praised the scenes which involved Bud, Joan as well as Megan and Derek; "the banter" and "opposites attracting", calling the episode "tense" and saying that it was the "most gripping episode of this season so far". Christine Orlando from ''TV Fanatic'' said, "Having been a bit bored with last week's episode, I was glad to see ''Body of Proof'' step up its game". ==Plot== Helen Martin (Nicole Callender), a nanny, is run over by a speeding truck whilst trying to stop the kidnapping of the six-year-old child she was caring for, Noah Parker (Anthony Pierini). Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) is assisted by Special Agent Derek Ames (Cliff Curtis) of the FBI, who takes a call from Noah, but the kidnapper hangs up before the phone can be traced. Bud questions Jason Peterson (Stink Fisher), when his truck matches that of the kidnapping vehicle. Bud turns off the cameras whilst interrogating, and later on, Jason is found dead, which causes Bud's reputation to be questioned, but is later cleared. Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) finds several clues which reveal that Jason knew where Noah is, but the detectives are worried that Noah may die as he is asthmatic and is without his inhaler. Megan's mother Joan (Joanna Cassidy) offers to help with the case, but only to help her re-election as a judge. Joan is using pamphlets, for her campaign, with a picture of Megan at the funeral of her father. Megan dislikes the photo, but Joan likes the picture as it shows "strength and survival". A ransom is made, with the kidnappers wanting one million dollars for the return of Noah. A picture of Noah is sent, with Megan stating that he looks extremely sick. Bud and Derek, with the help of Joan, search many places associated with Jason, despite Bud knowing that Internal Affairs is considering voluntary manslaughter charges against him due to Jason's death. Curtis Brumfield (Windell Middlebrooks) and Ethan Gross (Geoffrey Arend) begin to believe that Noah is being held by fresh water, so the search is narrowed. Bud is also cleared of voluntary manslaughter, and him, Curtis, Megan and Kate Murphy (Jeri Ryan) suspect that the kidnapping may be an inside job, meaning that someone close to Noah kidnapped him. Bud checks his parents, Tom (Stephen Barker Turner) and Jennifer (Keira Naughton) but they are not the culprits. They then find that Helen's friend, Jason's girlfriend, Rena Talbot (Wrenn Schmidt) looked after Noah whilst Helen was on taking care of her boyfriend Oscar Mendez who had been injured badly in a fight. They find Rena, and result in finding Noah, who is sick but alive, and is reunited with his parents. Whilst Rena is arrested, Derek asks Megan to have a ride on her motorbike, to which she rejects and instead goes to see Joan, having a conversation about her father. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Missing (Body of Proof)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
